When deputies arrived, they found that EMS was doing CPR on Coles. While paramedics were doing CPR, they realized Coles had been shot.

He was taken to a local hospital, where he later died. These senseless crimes continue to happen. I am not sure why kids continue to pull out guns, it makes no sense.

???? Saddened to hear the news about Jarvon Coles.
He was a great player but an even better person.
I will keep his family and the entire Eastside community in my prayers.

Man, just sad. He was 18 with his entire life in front of him. @abc13houston pic.twitter.com/X2JoWiqrpW
